Former Head of Legal Affairs of Asante Kotoko, Lawyer Samuel Sarfo Duku has given his assessment of departing Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Nana Yaw Amponsah.
After the dissolution of the board and management of the Porcupine Warriors club, Nana Yaw Amponsah is no longer at post as CEO.
Speaking to Citi Sports on the performance of Nana Yaw Amponsah, Lawyer Sarfo Duku disagreed with claims that the football administrator failed at Asante Kotoko.
According to him, although the former club CEO did not perform to the expectations of some people, he still did very well for the Reds.
“Before we can make a definite conclusion, we would have to analyze the terms of reference vis a vis what he was able to achieve. Generally, if you look at the performance of the team, I don’t think they fared badly at all.
“With the divisions between the management team and the Board, which led to the dissolution of the Board, I would say he did not perform up to people’s expectations,” Lawyer Sarfo Duku said.
He continued, “Before he [Nana Yaw Amponsah] came, the expectations of the fans were so high. But I think he has done his part. Others are saying that he would have performed better if he were to be given another chance, but the issues were such that Otumfuo thought otherwise.
“So I won’t say he is a failure, I would say he did not perform to people’s expectations.”
In his role as CEO of Asante Kotoko, Nana Yaw Amponsah secure a lot of sponsorships for the club.
The Reds under his leadership won the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League title.
